1. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
2. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
3. In a smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda.
4. Cut the stick of butter into smaller pieces (as seen in the video).
5. In a larger mixing bowl, combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
6. Gently stir the dry ingredients (flour, cornstarch, salt, etc.) into the larger bowl with the butter/egg/sugar mixture (as seen in the video).
7. Add in the chocolate chips and optional walnuts. Mix gently until fully combined.
8. Using a full-size spoon (tablespoon), make cookie dough balls and place them on the baking sheet.
9. Bake for 6-7 minutes or until the tops of the cookies turn golden brown (keep an eye on them).
10. Remove from the oven and let them cool; they’ll continue to cook on the inside while they cool.
11. For the softest cookies, eat them when they are warm, not totally cooled.
